It’s a heck of a way to run a pre-election campaign. On the eve of an expected election, politicians usually spend their time playing up good news, downplaying the bad, shaking hands and kissing babies.

In the earliest opening on the resort’s record, Sun Peaks opened its cross-country ski trails on Friday, Nov. 8, two weeks ahead of schedule.

Sun Peaks boasts 10 kilometres of groomed trails for classic and skate-skiing on McGillivray Lake, Vista and Otter Trail routes. More trails will open throughout the season as weather permits and crews complete the trails’ preparation.

Avid skiers might give credit to the recent snowfalls outside of Kamloops, which provided a good snow base.

“Our groomers have been busy track-packing the trails to solidify our snow base. This means very good early season conditions on our first day,” Phil Youwe, Nordic co-ordinator for Sun Peaks Resort, said in a press statement.

Early season trail fees are $10 and will adjust as more terrain opens. Tickets can be purchased at Guest Services in the Village Day Lodge and Elevation Sports in the village centre. For an updated list of open trails, visit sunpeaksresort.com.
